This study provides molecular-level insights into the stability of blue carbon in mangrove and cordgrass wetlands along the Gulf coast. While it advances understanding of carbon sequestration mechanisms, its direct application to corporate …

Yuening PENG, Keisuke Nakayama, Taketoshi Shimizu +5

This study demonstrates that eutrophic freshwater reservoirs have superior carbon burial efficiency compared to coastal blue carbon habitats (seagrass, marsh, mangrove) under global warming, suggesting their potential as significant carbon …
